It’s time to comb through the virtual anthology that was coverage of the Red Sox’ three-game ALDS sweep of the Angels and find the best of the best. Here’s what caught our eye from the five days of pure media attention.
Manny got all of that K-Rod offering, didn’t he?

Ace’s stuff fit for kings — [...]
There are absolutely no acceptable excuses for sub-par Red Sox stories at this time of year. Think about the tumultuous week just past in Red Sox Nation. There was the ebb and flow of a lead over the Yankees. There was the re-emerging story of Tim Wakefield, suddenly a 15-game winner at 42. There was [...]
Let’s not talk about last night’s loss ourselves, let’s have others do it for us. In fact, if possible, let’s try not to even think about it. But we’ll read about it, of course. I mean what are we, savages?
The Dice Man had another impressive, deep outing, but he was hung out to try [...]
There’s plenty of fabulous material floating out there about the upcoming race down the stretch, but off-days give ample opportunity for off-bet material. With that in mind, here’s our best of this morning’s offerings from the local scribes:
Dave O’Brien was the lucky man on the spot in San Fran. Take the time to listen [...]
If there was ever an alka seltzer appearance, it came last night in Anaheim, didn’t it? Has there been a bigger stretch of back-to-back-to-back-to-back relief innings against any team but the Yankees this year than there was in Anaheim last night? I don’ think there has. After reading through the best of this morning’s offerings, [...]
Gordon Edes’ morning headline is probably the best, and sits on the easy line between panic and more minor distress. At five games, I’d say that line is getting an awful lot closer to general panic, wouldn’t you? Regardless, here’s the best of this morning’s headlines:
The Sox will need a good outing from Jon Lester [...]
Finally! A Sox win in Seattle! I can’t use enough exclamation points here!! Allright, never mind. That got old fast. Luckily, the best writing about the team today didn’t.
Dice-K was looking good much of the first seven innings last night, as he was here dealing to Ichiro.

For once, bats life Dice-K- It [...]
There’s just no explaining it, is there? I’m giving up. Maybe the writers will delve into it, but I’m just willing to write off Safeco as an official house of horrors at this point. Let’s get a referendum started, shall we? In the meantime, here’s today’s best pieces:
Big Papi had a big night, but [...]
Sorry, had to steal the Herald’s game-story headline for Second Cup this morning. When something is just too good, something you just have to give props. So props to you, Herald editors. That’s some solid work there. Now, here’s some more, in “best of today’s papers” form:
You know, he may only be hitting .200, but [...]
Hi everyone. Sorry for this morning’s delay, but the fabulous Sox Nest admin site was getting some cosmetic surgery last night, but kept us from a TMA (The Morning After) post this morning. Crushing I know. But have no fear, we’ll work the Sharon Stone photos in some other evening (you know that was a [...]
